About Your New Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth Tall cones

Magnolia grandiflora 'Exmouth' grown as tall cones is a majestic evergreen magnolia clipped into an elegant tall conical form, combining grand vertical presence with the dense glossy foliage and fragrant flowers Exmouth is known for.

Exmouth Tall Cones carry glossy dark green leaves with velvety rusty-brown undersides, and produce large fragrant creamy-white flowers up to 30cm across through summer. The tall cone form makes a striking specimen for large gardens, parks, and avenue planting, and works beautifully framing entrances and driveways.

Exmouth thrives in well-drained soil, tolerates some urban pollution, and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is moderately drought tolerant once established and needs only minimal pruning, with moderate watering during dry spells and early growth. Light clipping maintains the tall cone shape.
